The part Protestantism got right is that it is better to read the Bible for yourself, and have your own direct relationship with God, rather than rely on the second-hand interpretations of others.
The part Protestantism got wrong is that, by stripping away the traditional, mystical, ritualistic elements, the experience becomes so watered down that it begins to feel secular, like going to jury duty rather than going to mass.
